- We were using the same bind pattern for both internal-only and public helpers
- Binding helpers to config makes them available throughout the codebase
- Removing the binding doesn't make the code much more complicated, but it does make the Public API of the config module a lot clearer
- The new @tryghost/config-url-helpers has a pattern of exposing bindAll()
- Changed the local (non url) helpers to have the same pattern for consistency
- Also fixed types as best I can
- getSubdir, getSiteUrl & getAdminUrl were currently part of @tryghost/url-utils
- They have been split out into their own library, and refactored so that they expect to be bound to nconf
- With this commit we can do e.g. config.getSubdir() rather than needing @tryghost/url-utils
- These functions will be passed to url-utils via DI
- This is the first step in breaking down url-utils into smaller pieces
- This commit only does a single change in Gruntfile.js to use the new funtions - this will be rolled out slowly
- There are two different types of function here
1. "helpers" are public API - config.something() that provide dynamic helpers on top of config
2. "utils" are internal methods used only by config itself
- This commit makes this distinction clearer, although we should also change the code to enforce that utils are not exposed
- Renamed the file in line with our rules around index.js files
- Cleaned up some outdated code patterns
- Want to make the config module a little clearer in what it does
